FAMILIES //
Addiction has a profound affect on the entire family, and not only the individual who suffers from substance abuse and alcoholism. Addiction impacts entire families.
The total impact that addiction has on families can be devastating, including the emotional and financial burdens that it causes. Many times, families tend to “give up” or “enable” their loves one, which leads to further turmoil along the lines of addiction and recovery. It can be very confusing over exactly how to deal with or interact with a loved one.
A treatment center that focuses on the individual needs of the patient, in order to develop a pro-active treatment plan and build a foundation for recovery should be sought out. One containing a team that consists of qualified clinicians, medical staff, nutritionists, substance abuse and mental health professionals who work hand in hand with not only the patient, but directly with the family members.
